The Struggle of the Underdog

Sunday Service - March 15, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

Music: The Occasional Singers  

There’s an unspoken awareness that ‘underdogs’ want neither to be winners nor powerful.  What does this mean for UUs, the underdogs of religious liberalism?   

Walking our Talk (Southern Ontario UU Pulpit Exchange)

Sunday Service - March 8, 10:00am
The Rev. Shawn Newton, Toronto First

Special Event: Sharing Our Faith Collection
Music: David Berger

It's been said that Unitarians are, at times, like a bunch of porcupines huddling together for warmth. A fair characterization or not, we don't always work together as well as we might. What could we accomplish if we found a better balance between our (marvelous!) individual particularities and the shared hopes and dreams we have for our faith?

Below is the sermon given by Rev. Julie at Kingston Unitarian Fellowship for the Pulpit Exchange.

Theology Canadian Style

Sunday Service - March 1, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

Music: Resonance
Our theology is really just an expression of how we look at the world, and that is deeply influenced by the context and environment in which we live.

Darwin's Birthday

Sunday Service - February 8, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

Special Event: Lay Chaplain Installation
With a nod to Darwin’s birthday, we look at the divide between the spiritual and the scientific, particularly as it applies to evolution and creationism. The gap is closing. Which one holds the power?

Stewardship of our Community

Sunday Service - February 1, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

Music: Resonance
Special event: New Member Sunday
Continuing with our stewardship theme, we look at how we intentionally and lovingly care for our community, within and beyond our Fellowship. What is it that sustains community through the years?

The State of the Fellowship

Sunday Service - January 18, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

Time to take stock. How are things going?

The Wintertime Spirit

Sunday Service - January 11, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

We live with winter a good part of the year. The elements are harsh, the trees are bare, yet hope and motivation continue. What is this wintertime spirit?

Stewardship of the Self

Sunday Service - January 4, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

As we enter the last year of this decade, many will be making personal resolutions. How might the concept of ‘stewardship’ inform and guide us both in taking care of ourselves and in rising to meet our responsibilities and dreams?

Imagine Whirled Peace

Sunday Service - November 30, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

Inspired by Ben and Jerry's new flavour, this service explores the affect of walls and apartheid. Would it be better if we could all live together in peace? Or not?

Stewardship of our Mission

Sunday Service - November 9, 10:00am
Rev. Julie Stoneberg

Our mission is to create a liberal religious community for Peterborough and the Kawarthas.  In this second in the series on ways we can be stewards of this congregation, we'll look at our mission and how we can support it.
